Bad Boys Star Theresa Randle Arrested for Felony Assault

Theresa Randle, Bad Boys Star

Theresa Randle, the actor who played the loyal wife of Martin Lawrence’s Marcus Burnett in three Bad Boys films, was arrested in Los Angeles. She was taken into custody earlier this week on suspicion of criminal assault with a dangerous weapon, but no charges were filed. Randle and another individual were fighting. She then allegedly hit the victim. 

The 59-year-old actress had already departed, so they just took a report. Details regarding the victim and the weapon were not known at this time. Two days later, however, they received another contact from the same area about a possible domestic dispute and restraining order violation. This time, when police arrived at the home, Theresa Randle was present. According to police, the 59-year-old attended a court hearing on Wednesday, and the district attorney dropped her case.

According to the Los Angeles Times, police detained her on charges of assault with a dangerous weapon following the incident over the weekend. Randle was lucky; she was set free on Wednesday and not officially prosecuted since the Los Angeles County District Attorney‘s Office chose not to pursue the case. Theresa Randle has done many wonderful work throughout the years, especially during the 1990s. She appeared in Space Jam, Spike Lee’s Girl 6, and Malcolm X. But she’s arguably best remembered for portraying Theresa Burnett, Martin Lawrence‘s wife, in the Bad Boys rolls.

Tasha Smith took her position in Bad Boys: Ride or Die last year. There was no explanation for her departure, although it is thought that she has medical difficulties that prevent her from returning to the big screen. She hasn’t acted since the 2020 film Bad Boys For Life. This might have been a factor in why she wasn’t brought back to reprise her role in the latest Lawrence and Will Smith film. According to Box Office Mojo, the film grossed $404,207,562 globally in cinemas.

Randle’s Acting Start in Hollywood

Theresa Randle, born in Los Angeles in 1964, began her performance career by studying dance (traditional, modern, jazz) and comedy. She made her big screen debut with Maid to Order (1987). For the next three years, she acted (in minor roles) in films such as Easy Wheels (1989) and Heart Condition (1990), starring Denzel Washington. 

Her first prominent part was in Spike Lee’s Girl 6 (1996) when she played a young star. Theresa Randle, once known for her amazing looks and powerful performances, is still in the public focus for reasons related to the glam of Hollywood. Why she did not come back to the big screen is still a mystery. But fans across the world hope that she will approach the difficulties with the same tenacity that she has displayed on screen throughout her career.

Final Thoughts

Theresa Randle was arrested in Los Angeles on suspicion of criminal assault with a dangerous weapon. According to reports, Randle was arrested around 4:30 p.m. on Monday and jailed later that day. But she was freed on Wednesday after the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office declined to prosecute the case. The District Attorney’s office stated on Friday that the case was dismissed owing to inadequate evidence. Randle’s representative could not immediately be reached on Friday.
